If you were excited after Apple announced its first 15-inch MacBook Air earlier this week, you’ll be pleased to learn that, despite the fact that it won’t be available until June 13, Amazon takes $50 off this new MacBook Air. That means you can pre-order the base model with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage for $1,249.99.

Based on our hands-on experience, the 15-inch MacBook Air isn’t much different from last year’s 13-inch sibling. Both offer similar features, including the same M2 processor and a MagSafe charging connector. The 15-inch Air might just be the perfect laptop if you’re looking for more screen space but don’t want to shell out the extra cash for Apple’s latest 14-inch MacBook Pro. It comes standard with a higher resolution screen and two additional GPU cores, as well as a six-speaker sound system instead of one with four speakers. We haven’t tested the 15-inch Air yet, but we’ll be publishing our full review soon, so stay tuned.

If all you need is a mid-range phone that masters the basics, Pixel 6A from Google is a good option that is currently hitting its all-time low at multiple retailers. Regularly $449, you can buy the last-generation unlocked phone with 128GB of storage for $299 ($150 off) from Amazon, Best Buyand directly from the google store.

Before it was replaced by the Pixel 7A, the Pixel 6A was our favorite mid-range Android phone. It may lack wireless charging and offer a slower 60Hz refresh rate than the newer 7A, but it shares some of the same great features. Like the 7A, for example, the battery life is good, so it should last you a long time. It also boasts a pocket-sized 6.1-inch OLED panel, a good camera, and other features that are impressive for the price, including an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance.
